Wow did not realize that…

Wow did not realize that 1999 run wasn't with Mark Few at the helm.

Virginia in is a fucking travesty.  Indiana St got robbed.  Texas A&M + Miss St also...gross.

Nice write up.

Darian Devries from Drake. Please.

Wikipedia still getting a…

Wikipedia still getting a bad wrap is insane.  It's not 1998 anymore.  It's certainly the wild wild west out there in many regards but not on Wikipedia. I can't tell you the last time I even thought what I read would be inaccurate.

No.  It's a, more proper way…

No.  It's a more polished way of writing than inserting e.g. "I think", "in my opinion", etc..

Sad.

I hate that we won't…

Sad.

I hate that we won't be a part of next week/weekend. But this sucks for everyone. Godspeed Juwan.  Efforts appreciated.

Gotta say I don't buy the…

Gotta say I don't buy the Xavier Worthy 40 time.  Kid is fast but all-time? Damn.  I'm being mostly facetious but truly, who the hell saw that coming?!

How so?

How so? 

A 9 seed made the final 4 last year (could've been in the title game if not for a bounce here and there) and there's little argument by the end of their run that they weren't a very, very good team.

I've always been against it…

I've always been against it.  And still probably am.  But I will say: in 2024 and probably for 4+ years now, there is a lot more parity in the sport than there was in 1998.  The bubble these days has some quality teams fighting for a spot who get left out. Many mid-majors are now on an equal if not better footing than Power-5 conference programs.  The difference between some 8-9 seeds and say, the "last 8 out" is probably pretty minimal.  Allowing a few more teams in probably wouldn't water down the field much.

But, this is not a notion the NCAA even cares about.

Such a noble house they are, Ohio St..

I do.  And I agree with 'em.

Seems an odd post to get triggered.

Brad Underwood said this…

Brad Underwood said this during his immediate post-game interview yesterday with the BTN reporter (they beat Iowa by 10 or so at home).  He said they didn't even watch film, etc.. It was a weird flex.  Then again he's and odd duck.

Maybe I'm too ignorant to…

Maybe I'm too ignorant to Jemele's outlooks.  I don't enjoy her but she does appear on the Lebatard platform so I tolerate her 8 minutes every 3 weeks.  I'm curious the reasoning regarding your neighbors/neighborhood.  I can obviously Google to dig deeper, as well.

Ohhhh my!!

Ohhhh my!!

Couldn't help yourself, eh?

Stephen A's eye-roll and headshake is hilarious.

Love how Parker had to comment on her looks.  Dude is a clown.  I'd forgotten about him for sometime.

I don't think Jemele is…

I don't think Jemele is racist. She just sort of sucks in general and can't/couldn't look at her Alma mater and criticize the holy hell out of it, properly, with the platform she has/had.

Good god no.

Reed is still…

Good god, no.

Reed is still a project.  Very little development and is truly worthless against experienced and skilled bigs.

TWill...handshake.  Thanks for your services.

Tshcetter is a bench player.  Could be a very solid one on the right team.  But limited...especially defensively.

There's the team we all know…

There's the team we all know.  Terrible possessions on both ends of the floor multiple times up and down.

Really...I'm watching.  I…

Really...I'm watching.  I use antenna/open air though.

(Cedar Rapids, fwiw)

The no foul call on that…

The no foul call on that Dreb a moment ago is completely bullshit and when we're competitive what raises my blood pressure and drives my ire towards that "program" and officiating.

Agreed.  I admittedly haven…

Agreed.  I admittedly haven't even seen the entire half.  Maybe the new Bourbon I just bought and too much optimism got to me.

But I do see some great effort on plenty of up and down possessions (they haven't completely quit on this staff/program...I keep waiting for it, though Illinois was pretty close to being there) and as you say the shooting looks good.  Plenty of the "same" though, you're right.

Why the fuck are you fouling…

Why the fuck are you fouling but also reallllly we're gonna call that?

Ugh.

I know Sparty isn't…

Ugh.

I know Sparty isn't great and there has been plenty of the usual poor play(s) but this effort and competence isn't half-bad.  If this was on full-display all season we aren't doom and gloom.  Unfortunately the 2nd half will likely bring what we're all used to.

Sparty by 11.

That happened fast!

That happened fast!

Wow.  What's the single game…

Wow.  What's the single game record? KC is on pace for a doozy!

(Again...this is boxscore/gamecasting cuz ya know, Peacock)

Of course it's on fucking Peacock.

o/u 3.5 shots for her to break record

Fuck that corporate, job-hopping, suited shill.

This seems a very solid and responsible way to go about it.

Hour? Looks like 8 minutes.  He's not the corrupt and incompetent one.  The lawyer is.

MOOOOODYYYY!!!

MOOOOODYYYY!!!

Gross. That would mean Kansas and Bill Self winning a championship.

No thanks.  Self and their program is ick.

Of course.  I just paid $25…

Of course.  I just paid $25 for this win!  In THIS season.

So actually a legitimately…

So actually a legitimately good half by us considering the usual terrible style of UW.

Haven't watched but I'm…

Haven't watched but I'm going to go ahead and hypothesize that it's been a rather abysmal half by Wisconsin standards and...it's a 4 pt game.

Wisconsin by double digits (11-14 pt win).

"knows shit about fuck since September, 2023"

Sort of fixed..

Not sure it's awesome but it's empirical.

The Chiefs defense was quite good this year.

That song absolutely slaps…

That song absolutely slaps so no...it doesn't suck.

Now Bama/Crimson Tide taking it for usage?  I dunno.  We're now a The Killers stadium so I'm not sure there's much to throw stones about.

And the way Tennessee played it facetiously on the overhead after beating Bama in Neyland Stadium last season ('22), it was very well worth however long Bryant-Denny has been playing it.

 

Sure?!

Sure. Flabbergasting even.

SHOCKING

 

Jesus fuck none…

shocking. Shocking. SHOCKING.

Jesus fuck none of that was shocking. He's a coach who's struggling and has a team who's struggling and probably isn't very good anyway.  Nothing he's spoken has been sensational.

Find new words.  There's a fucking book for it.

Jalen Rose.

Lame list, lame…

Jalen Rose.

Lame list, lame answer reply.

Tried to put the ball on the…

Tried to put the ball on the deck between 3 people.

It's just a poorly coached and low IQ team.  That's why I'm ready to move on.  The terrible decision making combined with lack of effort defensively, this many years in, is so frustrating.

IQ I'd piss poor. 

IQ I'd piss poor. 

Now we're Reed and rejects…

Now we're Reed and rejects amirite?

Ok that wasn't very nice.  I don't really mean that but man it's sad.  Just got home and figured I'd tune in but the immediate viewing of offensive rebounds given up turned into 3s is too much for me to handle.

Goddammit Jesse.

Goddammit Jesse.

You're a star in the making though.

Well said. Unfortunately…

Well said. Unfortunately fans live up to the fanatic label too often and aren't able to use their entire brain while engaging in their rooting interests.

Not a quote guy but one I came across years ago...Often there isn't a whole hell of a lot of difference between winning and losing, it's mainly just how the outsiders perceives the result. Something along those lines.

In basketball, one missed wide open 3 ball can spell the difference between winning and losing by 5 (after fouling, etc.).  In football a missed PI call here and there, an aforementioned odd bounce by a goofy ball, or a goalline stop on a game winning 2pt conversion.

But we surely play the result and want to upend things based on those Ws and Ls and usually much too prematurely.
